Most of the US heavy SAMs and AAMs are nominally nuclear capable.  There
was a nuclear Falcon, and Phoenix is at least theoretically nuclear-capable,
although I don't know whether the nuclear warhead exists and is deployed.
The Navy's "Standard" heavy SAM theoretically comes in a nuclear version
(again, I don't know how real it is), and Talos, its predecessor, certainly
did.  The old Nike-Hercules heavy land-based SAM often had a nuclear
warhead, and I expect its successor -- Patriot -- is designed to be capable
of it.
